investigated. There are enormous powers at play here, and this isn't a half-hour sitcom or game show.

If it seems to be moving at all at this point, instead of long periods of silence as investigations move forward quietly behind scenes, that can only be because of the incredible extremism and lack of competence in both the executive branch and parts of the legislative.

But just imagine, with much of the world fully aware that Russia had interfered in our election and had heavily infiltrated (at very least) the Trump campaign, Trump's White House and the Republican Party have gone ahead and packed many top federal positions, including several in the president's cabinet, with people with strong records of being Russian assets or at very least sharing strong interests with Russia and Putin, like Tillerson.

This isn't going away.
